Galway overcome sluggish start to remove relegation threat

Thu, Mar 16, 2023

The threat of relegation from division one has been removed from Galway’s final game of the Allianz Hurling League away to Westmeath this weekend after a solid performance led to a deserved 1-24 to 0-22 win over Clare in Cusack Park on Sunday.The return of Eanna Murphy, Daithí Burke, Ronan Glennon, Evan Niland, Brian Concannon, and Conor Whelan to the starting 15 suggested this was Galway’s strongest available line-up, but it took some time for them to come to terms with the challenge a lively Clare side posed.

A decidedly sluggish start left Galway trailing by seven points after only 14 minutes of play, as Clare’s attacking formation and restart options proved effective. David Reidy was the most threatening of their inside forwards with a brace of points, while Aidan McCarthy fired over three early frees.

Thu, Mar 02, 2023

Galway may have dropped another point last weekend, but with division one league football being ultra competitive this year, a win against a resurgent Monaghan this coming Sunday would almost guarantee safety for 2024.

Galway were by far the better team in the second half in Letterkenny, preventing Donegal from scoring from the 31st to the 67th minutes. Galway's defence has been quite mean throughout the league so far, but some wayward shooting from the home side helped their cause as Donegal kicked 13 wides in total. Had not a Paul Conroy free in the last play of the game sailed wide, Galway could have brought both valuable points back to Galway.
